scoring two baserunners.  Guthriesville made it exciting in the 9th, but they
were unable to push the needed runs across.

allowing no runs. Randy Moffitt recorded the save, his 3rd.  Bob Apodaca(0-1)
was charged with the loss in relief.  He allowed 5 hits and no walks in 3 and
2/3 innings.  
 
Gary Scott was in a contemplative mood after the tough loss, 'It is really
hard to lose this kind of a game.  It may seem weird to some, but it is
easier to take the occasional blow-out loss.  It is the ones that just barely
get away that hurt so much - like this one!'
